Fawlty Towers reference

"Spanish Box" = "Manuel" = three pedals and stick

Explaining "Spanish Box" to a non-PH friend recently was entertaining...

Comprende

But then you'd have to change your forum name to S85? It'd be ruined!

Would you keep a spanish box?

Thanks for this. A wonderful homage to what is an exceptional car

Wow I remember wasting many an hour reading your old threads on this car, glad to see its still going strong.

Almost there - getting the trunk lip spoiler next week, then the exterior is done!

Excellent Icelandic Express

Out of interest what is one of these like as a daily driver? I commute 50miles a day and fancy something different. Current drive is a BMW 130i which has been very loyal over the years

expensive lol.

I did 23k in my last one and 14k in my current one. Get a good one to start with and you should be OK, but they do need regular maintenance
